My wife told me to go out and get a scroll saw. Why can't she tell me to go out and buy a morticing machine?
I've read the archives on google and some of the stuff goes back to
1992. There's newer stuff, but I thought I'd post a new message anyway as I had more questions than answers. The more recent threads mention the Dewalt 788 as being a good choice. Normally I would jump on this kind of a recommendation but I don't want to put a lot of money into this tool as I am getting it to make things for the wife. She has this notion that I'm going to cut patterns and she's going to paint the parts. Not sure how long that idea will last so I don't want to put a lot of money into a tool that I will use once in a while.That being said, does anyone have a recommendation for a decent get what you pay for scroll saw that's between $100-200 dollars? I've read some stuff about variable speed, how important of a factor is it? Seems vibration would be more important to me and possibly the quick change feature.
How often do you replace the blades on the scroll saw? Is it because the blade breaks or just changing materials and thickness?
Thanks Thomas
